Talent and Mastery Changes

The level 15 and level 60 rows have changed. The survivability talents with Desperate Prayer and Angelic Bulwark are accessible at level 15 while the crowd control talents with Void Tendrils and Psychic Scream are now on level 60.

Void Tendrils

Summons Shadowy tendrils out of the ground, rooting up to 5 enemy targets within 8 yards of the caster for 20 sec. Killing the tendril will cancel the effect. Damage dealt to the rooted target is now also dealt to the Void Tendril itself.

Psychic Scream is now a level 60 talent, replacing Psyfiend

The caster lets out a psychic scream, causing 5 enemies within 8 yards to flee for 8 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect.

Level 90 Priest talents (Halo, Divine Star, and Cascade) can no longer heal allies for Shadow Priests, or damage enemies for Discipline or Holy Priests. In addition, Halo and Divine Star have AoE capping rules (it will heal for a full amount for a certain number of targets and heal for less if the number of targets is exceeded).

The behaviour of Angelic Feathers has been tweaked: Angelic Feathers, if cast on players, will always prefer the casting priest over others, then pick the player closest to the targeted location. If there are no players where it is targeted, it will still create a feather that can be picked up, as before. Additionally, when collecting multiple feathers, the duration will be extended, instead of replaced.

Chakras have been altered. The bonus from the Chakra itself is being transferred to the Holy Word spells.

Chakra: Sanctuary now increases healing of area-of-effect spells by 10% (down from 25%).

Rapid Renewal no longer reduces the global cooldown of Renew.

Holy Nova is now a Discipline specialization spell. The healing has been increased and the mana cost lowered. It’ll be the go-to efficient AoE healing spell.
